What are you currently listening to?

WELL! Every forum has one! The illustrious and incredulous WAYCLT Thread!

Some ground rules:

1. Have fun
2. Like comedy, music taste is subjective.
3. Basic post is [artist] - [song name]. If you want to add any other info that's totally cool, but the bare minimum I think should be those two things.

So I'll start, I guess, lol.

Daoko - Self Titled Album - Kaete Ageru

Really chill J-Pop song from '15 this was the first song I heard by Daoko and I was pretty hooked ever since. Well, I take that back my first exposure to her was from Me! Me! Me! her collab with Teddyloid. I always forget about that. But yea, This song and the music video that goes along with it are really great.

My good akg headset broke last month, and then i lost my cheap earbuds..... .. . BUT before this tragedy, i was listening a lot of a local band called Manchester Fluminense, from Rio. Actually, it's from São Gonçalo (also my home city), a city far from Rio's capital but in the same state and known as a "dormitory city", where nobody actually enjoy living or have fun, and nothing grows, everybody's poor and probably will go to neighboring cities if they want a kind of ok work, or to go out at night. We have some aura of abandoned city. And their album talks a lot about that experience, hits me a lot.

Its some sort of shoegaze,

and also something i'd associate with bands like Teen Suicide or Panchiko

I've never really sat down with jazzy drum n bass and explored more albums like this, but Diffusion Rooms by Guardian of Dalliance is so chill, I can listen to it all the way through.

i wasn't listening to this song, but it was playing in my head for the whole day...

black metal with acoustic guitars, a little bit of synth and a samba interlude about mother nature's rage against humans <3

I’ve been listening to a lot of PUFFY (as in Hihi and Amiyumi, respectively) on Apple Music over the past few months. Here are a few of my fave tracks:

I have a lot of nostalgia for these girls! In addition to watching their cartoon as a kid, which I rather enjoyed, my sister also had their sole American album, which collected several of their mainstream, easy-to-digest hits. Ami and Yumi were already irrelevant in the west by the late 2000s, but it’s always a very pleasant surprise to hear them do legitimate anime OPs/EDs from that era, like for Usagi Drop or Hatarake Man. They come across as two very likeable individuals — they always seemed that way in the show’s live-action segments — and it warms my miserable heart to see that they’re still working together into their 50s, with a new song out this month! Nothing is impossible, indeed.

I adore this era of 2000s J-Rock — it’s my favourite kind of Japanese music by far, and it’s such a shame that it totally died out by the year 2010. Here are a few more hits I like from THYME, who did the music for To-Love Ru:

I’ve been trying to find a high-quality download of this chick’s album first 9uality for ages, but to no avail. I hope pop rock, on either side of the Pacific, comes back some day.

I like all genres of music except maybe jazz, which nonetheless boasts amazing musicians.
When I was younger I really liked 70s rock and punk-rock (such as the Clash, Mark Bolan and the T-Rex, the Ramones, etc...). Right now I listen to a lot of symphonic, chamber and baroque classical music (Bach, Hændel, Corelli, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Schubert...).

Ready for some whiny-voiced alt music from the late 2000s? I know I am!

The Academy Is… was one of those bands that could have only existed in a very specific context, in a very specific time period. The best way I can describe them is to say that their music was the kind of thing that 13-year-olds who wanted to be 16-year-olds listened to. They were never cool, per se, but they had a kind of cute feigned-deepness that made them charming — in a retroactive sense, if nothing else. Almost Here is probably their best track, but About a Girl was their most popular, and both are perfect encapsulations of their cultural years (2005 and 2008, respectively).

In contrast, Hit the Lights was a band for 16-year-olds who wanted to be 18-year-olds. They wore baseball caps and weirdly-designed t-shirts, and sang songs about being too cool for high school — but in that sneery, snarky 2000s way. Again, they weren’t actually cool, but their supposedly-carefree lifestyle made them seem like they were. Their only notable album is Skip School, Start Fights, but it’s a very good one for alt-pop-rock fans. I recommend the tracks Breathe In and Drop the Girl.

Finally, you remember Hot Chelle Rae, don’t you? Their one-hit wonder song, Tonight Tonight, was quite popular during the early-2010s party culture! (And, really, 2010 and 2011 were just The 2000s: Part II.) Would you ever believe that their album, fittingly named Whatever, is actually quite good? Neither did… I until I listened to it! The group could actually play a tune when they wanted to, and had some mildly-clever lyrical chops when they weren’t completely up themselves. HCR wasn’t cool, either, but they thought they were — and sometimes, that’s almost enough. Downtown Girl was a song I listened to a lot in university, and I still think it’s an alright track.

Now, don’t look any of these guys up, because they all got OOOOOOLD! Too bad we can’t stay in 2007 forever, eh lads?
